Fender 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Precision Bass

In honor of 75 years of electric bass history, Fender introduces the 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Precision Bass

A special tribute to the very first model that laid the foundation for almost all modern bass guitars. This limited edition exudes the atmosphere of the early 1950s and is built with the same dedication to detail as the original that changed the music world forever.

The swamp ash body provides an open, resonant foundation with clear attack and warm undertones. The thin nitrocellulose lacquer allows the wood to breathe freely and gives the bass not only an authentic look but also that lively response vintage enthusiasts are looking for. The one-piece maple neck with a traditional 7.25” radius and vintage frets feels instantly familiar and offers precisely the round, comfortable playing experience you expect from an early Precision.

Central to this anniversary model is the specially developed 1951 Single-Coil Precision Bass pickup. It delivers that characteristic, woody punch with clear high-end definition and a robust, fundamental low-end. It's the sound that for decades formed the backbone of countless recordings and live productions – direct, honest, and always present in the mix.

The hardware also perfectly completes the picture. The vintage-accurate bridge with Pure Vintage Fiber saddles, the reverse gear tuners, and the characteristic 1-ply black phenolic pickguard make the whole visually and functionally historically correct. Everything feels solid, reliable, and built to last a lifetime.

The bass comes in a beautiful vintage-style tweed case, complete with period-correct case candy, which truly completes the picture for collectors and purists. This 75th Anniversary American Vintage II 1951 Precision Bass is not just an instrument, but a tangible piece of music history – for the bassist who wants to return to the origin of the foundation.
